A COMMUNITY OF HEROES FOR A COMMON CAUSE

Be inspired by heroes who shine bright through the darkness of cancer.

Thalia

Survivor

Thalia was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia on March 30th, 2018, a month after her 5th birthday. There have been many ups and downs through her first few months of treatment. No matter what she has always seemed to still stay positive throughout it all. Putting that big bright beautiful smile on her face reassuring us everything is going to be okay.

Maeryn

Survivor

In June 2016, 10-year-old Maeryn was experiencing unusual pain in her hips and knees. After several weeks of physical therapy, it wasn’t getting any better, so her parents took her to see a specialist. She was referred to Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, where she was diagnosed with pre-B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Jackson

Survivor

In many ways, my son, Jackson is a typical eight-year-old boy who loves Elmo and ice cream. But in other ways, he is anything but typical. He was born with Down syndrome and he's also a cancer survivor.

Athena

Survivor

In May 2012, my daughter, Athena’s hospital crib rolled down the halls of the hospital’s pediatric oncology floor. This would be her home for the next two months. She was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and needed to receive intense treatment.
